Purva Ashadha Nakshatra

Purva Ashadha Nakshatra in Detail

Purva Ashadha spans 13°20′ to 26°40′ of Dhanu (Sagittarius). Its deity is Apas, the cosmic waters, often linked with Varuna, the lord of the waters. It is ruled by Venus, and its symbol is a hand fan. Purva Ashadha is described as an ocean of great courage and patience, glowing with love, care and gentleness. This domain has a truly compassionate nature and is blessed with achievement and victory.

Purva Ashadha men are good-looking and eye-catching, with shining eyes and a lovely smile for everyone. They have bright minds and are good at debate. They rarely admit defeat. They are very stubborn and will not take back a decision, whether it turns out right or wrong. In difficult situations, their courage shines through. They are generous and often end up helping more than they can afford. They believe in God and have faith in justice. They can make very good doctors, but they may have little time for family because of frequent travel. They may be reluctant to marry, but once they do, they make excellent husbands.

Purva Ashadha women are beautiful and appealing, with a rare combination of beauty and intelligence. They are dreamers in a good sense. They take time to think and are not impulsive. One weakness is that they sometimes fail to do what they have committed to themselves. She is well educated and has a very good career. Her husband and his family take good care of her. Apart from women's health matters, she has few health problems.

People born under Purva Ashadha are quite close-knit with their own circle. They can be aggressive at times, but they are soft and loving at heart. They are gifted with positive qualities that bring success, and they are often wealthy. They have a dominant character, are sensitive and earn respect in life. However, they can be inconsistent and not always fully dependable, and they should guard against being led down the wrong path. Their personality is complex.

Some Vedic astrologers say the hand fan is used for cooling and relief in hot weather, so this nakshatra has the power to stay cool in difficult times and to overcome problems through endurance. Others note that in ancient times a fan was also used to fan a fire, which is seen as a sign of aggression.
